Mainstreams, Margins and the Spaces In-betweenNew possibilities for education research\nAuthor(s): Karen Trimmer, Ali Black, Stewart Riddle\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9781138021389, 978-1138021389\nSynopsis\nThis book explores the complexities of investigating minorities, majorities, boundaries and borders, and the experiences of researchers who choose to work in these spaces. It engages with issues of ethics, disclosure and representation, and contends with and seeks to contribute to emerging debates around power and the positioning of researchers and participants. Chapters examine epistemologies that shape researchers beliefs about the forms of research that are valued in educational research and theory, and consider the importance of research that genuinely seeks to explore voice, culture, story, authenticity and identity.\n\nResisting the backdrop of standardisation, performativity and accountability agenda.
